All Chapters of affair with my brother in-law : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Harrison's jaw tightened as he ended the call. His whole body was tense now — the soft, obsessed lover from a second ago was gone, and in his place was something colder. Sharper. Dangerous. Veronica stared at him, her heart still hammering from his proposal. "Who was that?" she asked softly. Harrison looked at her, and his grey eyes softened again. He cupped her face. "Veronica... I have to go," he said in a low voice. "Something urgent came up. I have to pick someone from the airport." Her heart dropped a little. "Someone? Is it... Marcella?" He was silent for a second, surprised she heard. "Yes," he admitted. "Marcella." Veronica tried to hide the sting in her chest. Marcella. The way he said her name — so familiar. So important that he called someone else 'boss' for her. "Who is she to you?" she couldn't help but ask, her voice small. Harrison sighed and pulled her closer, pressing a kiss to her forehead. His thumb brushed away a tear she didn't even know had fallen. "I

Tyler could barely walk. He was emotions drained, his shirt all wrinkled, blood dripping from his fist from punching on his car. The men on the two tainted cars had blocked him right after he left the bank. They took the $50,000 he had just withdrawn to secure himself and his mother before Harrison takes everything from them.Now he has nothing to hold on to and he feared he might be in trouble if they figure out the large amount of money that was withdrawn from the companies account. And they whispered before they left: _"Stay away from what's not yours."_ Harrison. It had to be Harrison. Who else? He dragged himself back to the Smiths residence — his home where he had grown up in with his parents." now he has no choice but to leave with his mum," as Harrison has given them just two days to move out. His mother, Eleanor, was now awake and was sitting on the couch, deep in thoughts. "Tyler? My God! What happened to you!" she gasped. "Mom, we have to leave this place," Tyler s

Morning sunlight poured into Harrison's bedroom. Veronica woke up slowly, warm, safe, tangled in silk sheets that smelled like him. Her body ached in the sweetest way. She was wearing Harrison's black shirt. His big, oversized shirt that fell to her knees. She smiled shyly and looked beside her — but the bed was empty. Her heart dropped. "Harrison?" she called softly, sitting up. The bathroom door opened. Harrison walked out, only in black sweatpants, his chest bare, tattoos shining, hair wet. He looked like a god from a dark romance cover. When he saw her awake, his whole face softened. "You are awake, princess," he said, his voice morning-hoarse and sexy. Veronica blushed. "I thought you left." Harrison got on the bed and pulled her into his lap instantly, kissing her forehead, her nose, her lips. "Leave you? After last night?" he growled possessively, his hands under her shirt, on her bare waist. "I will never leave you again, Veronica. Ever." Veronica g

"Hello, Dad!" Veronica answered, forcing herself to stay calm even as her insides twisted into uncomfortable knots."Veronica! Where are you?" Her father's stern voice told her that Tyler or his mum had probably said trash about her."Daddy, I'm at a friend's place at the moment, I will come home as soon as I can and explain everything in detail.""What friend are you talking about, Veronica! What the hell is going on with you?"Veronica let out a sigh as she sat up. Her dad had never spoken to her like that before. It was clear he was really angry at her."Daddy," she pleaded, "please calm down, it's not what you think, I promise. Whatever you heard from Tyler isn't true. I promise I will explain everything when I come.""Veronica!" Mr. Dante yelled, losing his temper for a moment. "I want to see you now! I don't care where the hell you are, come here right now and explain to me why you are in God knows where when your husband has been arrested.""What!..." Veronica exclaimed in surp

Veronica gasped in shock. "What?" Harrison smiled at her, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. "No man will ever control your future again, love. You will control it yourself. You graduated top of your class in Business Management. You are also a great jewelry designer. Now you can relax and design whatever you want at your own convenience. Your father built this empire for you, not for Tyler." Veronica was overwhelmed with so much emotion and a tear slipped down her cheek. "Harrison..." Veronica whispered in disbelief. Mr. Dante gave Harrison a complicated look. He would be lying if he said he wasn't happy or relieved that his debts had been cleared. He had completely lost hope as he had no idea how to turn things around or even avoid going to prison. But why would Harrison go through all this trouble to expose Tyler or pay such a large amount of money just to clear his debts? Is he supposed to believe that Harrison did all that just for his daughter? How did they meet and how
